The goal of the Boosterthon Fun Run is to raise funds for our school while teaching our
kids about the importance of Fitness, Leadership, and Character. If you are interested in
helping with the upcoming LES Boosterthon Fun Run, please contact Holly. On 10/23 we
will kick off this fun event with Student Pep Rallies. Please feel free to attend and hear all
about the exciting journey we will be taking on “Highway USA!” The actual Fun Run will
take place on November 2 – your teacher will provide you with the time your class will be
running – parents, PLEASE come out and support your child as he/she participates in this
great event! For more information please go to: http://boosterthoninfo.com/leesville-roadelementary.

opportunity available. Please contact Amy Brown, PTA Volunteer Coordinator if you
would be able to help on this day – if you can donate one hour, it will really help!
